GlennWest Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 I do have a 1/2" air impact. Use it some. Recently on my brake upgrade came in very handy. 2003 Teton Grand Freedom towed with 2006 Freightliner Century 120 across the beautiful USA welding pipe.https://photos.app.goo.gl/O32ZjgzSzgK7LAyt1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Av8r3400 Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 I have found I hardly ever use my pneumatic impact now that I have a 1/2" DeWalt battery unit. No hose to drag around and more torque from the electric.

GeorgiaHybrid Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 I have a 1/2" battery Snap-on on the truck but still keep a 3/4" air impact for those times when you need the power and yes, I have a large enough air supply for it. 2017 Kenworth T6802015 DRV 38RSSA Elite Suites2016 Smart Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickeieio Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 The size of the compressor isn't nearly as important as the volume of the tank and the diameter of the hose.

GeorgiaHybrid Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Our compressor puts out 37.4 cfm, we had extra airtanks added and we have (2) 1/2" lines straight off of the auxillary tanks for quick connects. Air is not a problem set up that way. 2017 Kenworth T6802015 DRV 38RSSA Elite Suites2016 Smart Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgiaHybrid Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 Steve, it is a 2 cyl air compressor that KW offers as an option on the ISX Cummins. From what I understand, about the only people that order that option (other than idiots like myself) are the guys building a large rotator wrecker for HDT's. That way they have onboard air for recovery lift air bags, airlines to the towed truck, air tools, etc. I also optioned out aluminum tanks to eliminate a rusting issue. I guess I am spoiled by the compressor art at my home shop, I run a Quincy QR series professional there with a 120 gallon tank. I HATE waiting on air to build up so I ordered the truck with that compressor to be able to do whatever I wanted to concerning compressed air. 2017 Kenworth T6802015 DRV 38RSSA Elite Suites2016 Smart Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right on. I have an auxiliary tank pack on the back of the cab and a 3/8" airline on a reel with a regulator. I carry an assortment of air tools - ratchets, impact, hammer, body saw. You do not need to run them continuously so air depletion like a sander or spray gun is not an issue. As long as you can run the engine they can make any other wrench work much quicker and easier. A 10 or 12 ton air over hydraulic bottle jack is a must in my tool box. Hand pump jacks are a pain on a heavy vehicle. Be sure to number your tool bags and make up a printed list or cards that inventory each bag - can save a lot of time looking for a particular tool or part. I am a tool junkie and impatient when I can't lay my hands on a needed tool. Visa or Mastercard are for beer, empty space is for tools and spare parts.
